7879 Hoth Echo Base is a set released in 2011 of the ClassicStar Wars line. It contains many similar things that were used in the 7749 Echo Base set such as the tauntaun and the E-webb. The set can connect at the back to make a smaller base, or can unfold to become larger.

The Hoth Echo base was a base used by the Rebel forces shortly after the Battle of Yavin. It was destroyed shortly after the remaining transports evacuated the base, by the Rebel SpecForce Renegade Squadron.
